“Cassie” Alex and Aaron say in unison, before a smirk forms on Aarons lips and the usual cold stern look takes over Alex’s face concealing his initial look of excitement. Both men run their eyes over her body.

“What are you two doing here?” Cassie asks them, totally forgetting the reason she was here, for a moment

“Work Cassie, work” Alex declares, stating the obvious.

“Hello” Mr. Park says, bringing the three out of the awkward silence that was lingering. Cassie had to deal with the reason she came here first and then ask all the questions she needed to ask later, right now, she had to hand over these papers to Mr. Park. She had to bring back her A game

“Hi Mr. Park, my name is Cassie Adams, I’m so sorry for the invasion” Cassie spills, making him nod with a smile as he walks out of the elevator, helping Cassie take her attention off the men and focusing it on him

“Nice to meet you Cassie, to what do I owe this pleasurable visit?” he asks

Mr. Park was a short, robust pot-bellied man and half his hair had vanished thanks to age and time. He smelt like newly bought books and wore a smile on his face all the time. He had opened his publishing firm well over ten years ago and it had published more than half a million great novels since then. Getting to publish with his firm was borderline difficult especially without extra connections, and meeting him was a near impossible task. He was never in town, so getting appointments were hellish and exhausting.

Cassie’s dad had offered a few times to help with hunting him down and booking an appointment with him, but she wanted to handle this particular task herself, which he had immediately respected

“I’m a writer and I’ve spent months trying to get to you, Cassie remarks. Your office said you hardly have time to check your mail and advised I see you in person, which has been mostly complicated, until now. She smiles softly. My friend spotted you earlier and told me, so I dashed here as fast as I could. I was really hoping you could take a look at my work”

She had to show him that she was confident about her work and make him take her serious. From interacting with a few people around her who had met him in person, Mr. Park was quite friendly especially when it concerned things that weren’t work related, but he had this nasty and bumptious side when work came into the picture. So, Cassie knew she had to match his energy if she was going to stand a chance and utilize the opportunity.

“Well, I’m sorry about that Cassie, work never really lets me stay in one place. Now, about your wok, is it edited? I’ve had people giving in an unedited work and to be honest, I throw it straight into the bin”

“It is sir, thoroughly, you would not have a problem” Cassie assures him confidently, feeling proud of herself for being a step ahead of him with that one

“Good. What the genre?” he asks, extending his hand to receive the papers she is holding. He skims through the pages and she takes a quick glance at the two men behind Mr. Park, who have their eyes fixed on her all through the conversation like they were watching some sort of movie and they couldn’t just look away. She wondered how long they had been staring and if they didn’t have any other thing to do. They did say they were working here; didn’t their boss need them or something, or didn’t they have something to work on? She gets lost in her thoughts for a brief moment.

“Miss Cassie?” Mr. Parks voice calls, bringing her out of the nasty thoughts that circled around her step brothers and the elevator behind them

“Yes, I’m here, sorry, it’s basically a romance, thriller and erotica” she replies, taking a quick peak at the boys as she mentions erotica. Aaron smirks at the remark and Alex gives a nod of approval

“I see, I will take a look at it and let you know what I think, but I can’t promise you anything Miss Cassie. I’m telling you this because you seem like a nice young lady” he says. His words crushing her.

She had been to many other publishing firms and she knew exactly what that statement meant, she couldn’t help it but let her shoulders drop, her smile somehow danced away from her lips and all the adrenaline faded away. This was definitely not what she had hoped to hear

“Give it a try first Andrew, she has potential, take it from me” Alex’s voice cuts in. Cassie lifts her head up and stares at him surprised

She had potential? His words echoed in her head continuously, like it was the first time she was hearing it. And he had just called Mr. Park by his first name?

“She looks it, but…” Mr. Park tries to defend

“I’ve seen the draft; you do not want to say no” Aaron adds.

Well, that’s a lie, he definitely had not seen the draft. It was a weird feeling for Cassie, she wouldn’t normally allow them talk for her or she would get angry that they had to lie to him for her to get a chance, but right now, that didn’t matter, she needed Mr. Park to give her something positive to work with, she really needed that right now

“Alright then, I trust you two. So, Cassie, I’ll be in back into town sometime next month, let’s see then, is that okay?” Mr. Park enquires

What!? Next month? He was asking if that was okay? This man was either crazy or blind. Of course, it was okay, it was perfect even, she was this close to leaping for joy and jumping on him to give him a hug, before Alex interrupts

“That’s far” he says

Wait what?

“no, its…” she tried to say but is cut short again, this time by Aaron

“She’ll come with us to Korea next weekend, so spare a day for her own meeting or you could have both ours and hers on the same day if you have a tight schedule” Aaron says

Wait, what!?

“That sounds perfect, I’ll have your meeting on Friday and hers on Thursday, sounds good?” Mr. Park asks with a smile

“Sounds perfect, thank you so much for your time” Aaron says, extending his hands in a shake, which Mr. Park returns. He does the same with Alex

“It was nice meeting you Miss Cassie, can’t wait to get started with your novel” Mr. Park says extending Cassie a handshake as well

“I’m grateful, see you soon” she replies, still in utter confusion and shock as she watches him walk away towards the parking lot

“Let’s go” Aaron says with a commanding tone and Alex turns to follow, leaving Cassie standing there in utter disbelief

“That means you two Cassie” Alex says, turning to look at her.

She is too shocked to utter a word or hesitate, so she just nods her head and follows, entering the elevator with both Alex and Aaron.

    The ride up is silent and almost uncomfortable, Cassie keeps staring at each floor button light up, waiting for the doors to open up. She’s grateful for what Alex and Aaron have done, yes it came as a surprise, a really out of this world surprise and it was like all her dreams were finally falling into place She knew they had just played major roles in letting that happen, yet, she didn’t know how to appreciate them appropriately in words. How was she supposed to start? What was she to say? She already felt the awkwardness strangulating the air in the elevator with them They had just become a part of her life yesterday and they were already doing so much, it was insane, but she loved every bit of it. Before she could distract herself with some other random thought, the elevator doors slid open “This way” Aaron tells her, gesturing to the direction of what she recalled, used to be the boss’s office Cassie spent most of her days in Brandon’s work place, every free time she got, she

    Cassie sat at the back seat of the car, staring blankly at mostly nothing but greenery. Alex was behind the wheel and they were somewhere on the outskirts of town now, in-between forests; mostly just trees. Cassie liked the serenity around the location as there were hardly any cars plying the route, which made the drive now super quiet and lonely, but for their occasional chatter. She loved the trees that filled the area, perfectly lined up, like they had been deliberately planted in that manner. Cassie wasn’t familiar with the collection of French contemporary artists of the millennium, but for some weird reason, she enjoyed this particular album by Jane Fostin. She wished she had taken her French classes more seriously, maybe she would have known what the song was about. But all of that didn’t stop her from enjoying the sweet soothing melody that blasted from the radio.“Why aren’t you worried? We could be kidnapping you; you know?” Aaron says, instantly getting Cassie’s attentio

    There was a parting within the crowd on the dance floor, through which Cassie weaves her way, instantly dancing faster to the loud music. She throws her head backwards and balances her hand on her hips. She can suddenly perceive the strong smell of the joint and a presence around her, so she opens her eyes to see Alex standing in front of her. She smiles at him, takes the joint from him, puffs it, passes it back and eases back into her dancing, this time aware that Alex is just beside her. She could feel him close to her and she liked how he wasn’t going anywhere.She feels his muscular hands snap around her waist, and she tilts her head as he pulls her towards himself. He grabs her hands as she spins around letting go while he does a moonwalk. He looked like he too was enjoying the loud music. Cassie turns around, giving him her back and letting his both hands find their way around her waist as she begins a slow wind. She spins around again and looks across to where they were sit

    Cassie cannot stop thinking about their impending trip to Korea and her chance to finally convince Mr. Parks to publish her bestseller. She had been preparing for this opportunity and all she needed to do now was get over the line; whatever it took. There was still a little over forty- eight hours before they were scheduled to depart but she was already feeling a little anxious. She had dedicated time specially to go over the work again, making sure every chapter was near perfect. This was a once in a life time opportunity and she wanted to make it count. These past few days, she had hardly spent time with the boys, as most of the time they would have left for work before she found the time to come downstairs and by the time they got back, she was already either tucked in bed or too engrossed in her editing.Alex and Aaron had been preoccupied with meetings all week long. They were introduced to the staff; including Brandon and Mr. Cho whom they recalled from the day Cassie had s

    Cassie had done her final packing arrangements and had gotten off the phone with Brandon, who was trying to help her feel a bit more relaxed, not like it had worked though. She had not managed to get any quality sleep all night, so she finally gave up trying and had gotten out of bed by five. She was excited and anxious about the trip because she had never been to Korea all her life. It was one of her favorite places, considering how addicted she was to Korean drama. Traveling had never really been a thing she did often; between raising her and work, her dad never really got the chance to take her on travel vacations. She did what she could to at least see a handful of places and she often wondered if it was because she was a writer that made traveling so poetic for her, but she loved the mere thought of new people, new cultures, new beliefs and everything that came with vising a new place. Here she was, going to one of her dream countries to fulfill one of her greatest dream; h

    Cassie had been asleep for a while now, she had woken up a few times to use the rest, eat and have a little chat with the boys. She had gradually fallen asleep again when Aaron informed her that they were just less than two hours away from Seoul.The guys were used to flying and both of them were wide awake, Alex had been engrossed in the Call of duty he was playing on his tablet while Aaron scribbled translations from a foreign language which he was currently pursuing knowledge in. Aaron was now helping himself to a couple of shots of Jack DanielsCassie wakes up slowly to the feeling of someone’s hand on hers. She realizes and quickly shuts her eyes, as she hears whispers beside her, turning a little, like she is trying to settle in a bit more comfortably, in such a way that she could listen into the conversation more. A part of her felt bad, but she was just curious to know what the boys talked about when she wasn’t around.She finally made out the voice beside her and it was A

    Cassie decides not to dwell on whether the two men were jealous or not. She was glad they had finally landed, after what seemed like a lifetime in the air; looking forward to visiting the Hangang Art park, and most importantly, going to make sure that she returned back home with an agreement to publish her book, from Mr. Parks. The drive to the hotel was mostly quiet as Cassie let her eyes do most of the work, except for when she had the conversation with Yang regarding the famous world’s highest glass floor she’d seen on YouTube, and was hoping to experience in person, as well as the occasional chattering between Alex and Aaron about work related stuff. Cassie felt really exhausted and she couldn’t wait to get a warm bath and real bed.Aaron had called Mr. Grant earlier, informing him that they had arrived safely, been picked up by Yang, and right on schedule for their meeting in a few hours. Cassie had deduced from the conversation that Mr. Grant was most likely the owner of som

She grabs her phone, just as she remembers that she hadn’t spoken to him since they had boarded, and immediately connects to the Wi-Fi, before opening face time“Hey ya” Cassie screams into the phone just as he picks up “Look who’s in Seoul” she adds excitedly“And look who’s at work” Brandon says, without looking at Cassie.

    “So that’s a yes?” Aaron asks, looking more surprised than excited“Wasn’t that the answer you hoped for?” Cassie asks with a smile“Yes it was, but I thought it’ll be harder convincing you” Aaron replies“Well, a job sounds like a great idea, sitting at home will get boring and I’m curious,” Cassie tells them“About what little one?” Alex enquires, folding his arms“What it be like being with you two all day long and also knowing about you two” Cassie replies with a shrug, like it was an obvious answer“Oh I see,” Aaron says, a smirk finding its way to his lips“Can’t get enough of us then” Aaron adds, now trying to tease“Says the guy begging me to work with him” Cassie replies with a smile, knowing she had given him a taste of his own medicine“You’ll be the one begging

    Aaron’s mouth moves to Cassie’s other breast, sending pure desire to her core. Cassie pulled him closer to her, making sure he could feel her completely, so he would see what he was doing to her and how much she needed him. Cassie finally removed her top, now looking at Aaron whose mouth was busy on her hardened nipple.She watches as he moves from her breast to her belly. Placing kisses softly and gently, not stopping till his kisses reached her waist. His actions made her arch and release a moan, Aaron looked up at her a smirked, knowing exactly what stopping would do to her.Cassie enjoyed it, she didn’t want him to stop, and she shivered at the intensity his lips could bring to her body. Yet, she thought of Alex, she wanted to kiss him while Aaron’s lips devoured her underneath.

After successfully closing her door, she takes a deep breath, almost like she had stopped breathing. She still couldn’t wrap her head round what she had found herself in, but instead of over thinking it, she head downstairs to make breakfast.After making some toast and eggs, Cassie sits at the dining, trying to figure out what to do or even say around the boys.

    For a split second, Cassie is shocked seeing him there, but something about the way he watched them, turned her on even more. He looked like he was enjoying the sight; the bulge in his pants confirmed it. Cassie bent her head, giving Aaron more room to nibble on her neck while his fingers begins to find their way to her already hard nipplesThe battle between wanting to close her eyes and feel everything Aaron was doing to her body and keep her eyes opened to watch Alex lust over them was second to none. The moment was euphoric and Cassie wondered if maybe she had slept off and all this was a dream“Come here” Cassie whispers, loud enough for both boys to hear. Making Aaron stop and turn to who Cassie’s eyes were fixed on. Alex stands in his spot for a few more seconds before slowly moving toward the bed.“Locked up?” Aaron asks him“Yes, everything’s fine” He replies“We missed you” Cassie tells Alex, looking at him, stretching her hand towards him for him to grab, which he doesAaro

Please let’s go home” Cassie pleads, now turning to look at Alex, her eyes now red still filled with tears“What fucking happened in there Cassie?” Alex shouts from the back seat, already seeing redHe had never seen her cry or shiver in fear the way she was doing right now, he hated it, he wanted to put an end to whatever or whoever made her feel like this.
